I know your upset mate si I won't mention that for majority of our players thus is just a job, that they get paid for.

'Bad day at the office' is as bad as the turds that were saying 'Celtic will tire! They can't keep this up'.....well they fuckin did! And so did Spurs. Some of our lot couldn't give a shit. They impress for 5 games at the start of the season then just can't be arsed.

Didn't take long to turn on the team, huh?

Our manager was warning the players about intensity levels before the game.

We've been overconfident and I think he was trying to bring us down to earth, but hard when you haven't lost, and the only draw was at a League 1 quality opponent in their Cup Final.

This also felt like Spurs treated it as such. They had been questioned at the start of the season, which wasn't great the first 2 games, but came into the game in good form.

Season is long.

Let's get a grip.

Pep can see what the real problems with this lot are after today and Wednesday. I don't think they are entirely the same as last season but he can see that some just aren't fit for purpose.

Wow some of you really are Mardy cunts. The op is overreacting big time. It's one game against probably the best team in the league bar us of course.

Not seen the full game yet after going to watch City women win the double ( crap game but a win's a win) Heard some feedback which said we deserved to lose bla bla and now I have just watched the BBC highlights. Seems to me we weren't as good as we needed to be obviously but I was suprised to see we had 58% possession and actually quite a few chances.

Their goals came from Kola making a mess again and Zaba unluckily diverting an interception to Son who made the pass for the goal. I didn't get the impression we were that bad but doom and gloomers on here seem to think it's the end of the world.

Wouldn't want any of you in the trenches with me. We lost a game against a good team and now it's all about how we bounce back over the next few games. we are top still and 6 points from two home games will probably increase our lead. What's the big problem?

I would always watch a game live over one on telly. Cup final and going for the double is a bit special!

Never in doubt as I couldnt get to the Spurs game anyway.

Each to their own Doug.....I just couldn't bring myself to watch women's football at any time.

Beach vollyball gets my attention though.

You're right, we weren't dreadful, Spuds played a bit of a blinder and took their chances.
Not the end of the world by any means.
And even MOTD said we played a decent game, and on another day may have got a result.
I think we've been too successful this season, and this is all the stored up doom and gloom coming out.

we struggle against teams that play with passion. celtic are fucking shit but managed to find another gear because they care. the difference between the 2 sides yesterday was a mental one. our lads don't play with any fire in their bellies.
